Recent articles about Chris DiMarcoen-usGolfers Honor Arnold Palmer On King’s 85th BirthdayThe legendary Arnold Palmer celebrates his 85th birthday on Wednesday, and if there were ever any doubt about the impact he’s had on the game, the King is reassured today. Love is pouring in from all over, including from some of his contemporaries – Jay Haas, Tom Watson, Gary Player, and Jack Nicklaus – who narrated one of Palmer’s favorite poems: The Man Who Thinks He Can, by Walter D.

They’re iconic moments of triumph and wizardry, if you will. His ability to make shots under pressure is unmatched by any other player.
The 2000 PGA Championship at Valhalla provided us with one of those historic shots. Well, two shots, actually.
Woods came to the 72nd hole tied with Bob May, knowing a par wouldn’t be enough to win the tournament. He needed to make a birdie. May made an 18-foot putt for birdie, leaving Woods with a six-footer to force a playoff. As you’d expect, he drained it to extend the championship.
But that was only the first of two memorable putts that day. The second was even more iconic.
On the first playoff hole, No. 16, Woods sank a long putt and was nearly at the hole before the ball fell. He walked it in and pointed at it.
You know exactly what putt I’m talking about. It’s unforgettable.
But this isn’t the only memorable shot Woods has hit on the 16th hole of a tournament. It seems there’s just someth05 Aug 2014 10:34:52 -0400http://network.yardbarker.com/golf/article_external/walk_in_putt_at_valhalla_just_one_of_tigers_famous_16th_hole_shots/16975882

The British Open is back at one of the sport’s oldest and most famous courses, Royal Liverpool. This marks the first time the Open has been held there since 2006.
The winner of that 2006 tournament was Tiger Woods, who is making his first major appearance of the season after having back surgery. Woods finished with a fourth-round 67 and finished the tournament 18-under as he held off Chris DiMarco for a two-shot win.
Woods will tee off with one of the earliest groups in Round 1 on Thursday morning. You can see other tee times for featured groups right here.

It also marks the 12th playing of The Open at the club. Over the years, Royal Liverpool has played host to some very memorable moments. Here’s a look at the 9 best:
Tiger Woods Wins in Record Fashion with Heavy Heart (2006)
Few professional athletes have ever had the type of public relationship with their father that Tiger Woods had with his dad, Earl. He was always looming somewhere around the 18th green on Sunday, waiting for his son to close out his major victory. At the 2006 Open Championship, however, Earl wasn’t there for his customary victory hug. The elder Woods had passed away two months earlier.
Tiger played great all week at Royal Liverpool, setting a new course record with a 65 on Friday en route to his 11th major championship. This time, after Woods made his final putt, his embrace was with caddie Stevie Williams. Woods sobbed into Williams’ shoulder, realizing for the first t15 Jul 2014 14:18:38 -0400http://network.yardbarker.com/golf/article_external/top_9_moments_at_royal_liverpool/16848172

What most people have forgotten, if they ever knew it in the first place, was that five days before the tournament began, Woods arrived at the course and promptly put his drives at the first and second into bunkers and had to play his ball out sideways.From that moment, he knew how much trouble lay ahead if he failed to find Royal Liverpool’s hallowed fairways. They were brown and parched, meaning that any bad bounce was only going to be exaggerated. A ball struck with a driver would be far more difficult to keep in play.Woods won The Open at St. Andrews in 2000 by missing every bunker on the course — an incredible feat. He knew that if he were to repeat the triumph at Hoylake, it was imperative that he keep the ball in play. The funny thing is that nobody else caught on to Tiger’s game plan.Stranger still, given his difficulties controlling his dr08 Jul 2014 11:50:19 -0400http://network.yardbarker.com/golf/article_external/open_championship_flashback_tiger_woods_storms_hoylake_in_06/16803964

The Masters is notorious for giving fans electrifying finishes and golf shots that live in our minds forever. Here are the top 9 shots in Masters history:Louis Oosthuizen’s Albatross – 2012 Masters: Usually, it’s inevitable that people will forget who finished second; doesn’t matter which event or where. Or one way to be remembered for finishing second is to collapse, crash and burn (a la Jean Van de Velde). Not so, however, for 2012 Masters runner-up Louis Oosthuizen. Early on Sunday, Oosthuizen secured his place in history when he buried his second shot on the par-5 third hole for the rarely seen albatross. I have to tell you, I watched this live and to this day, it gives me goose bumps.Bubba Watson From the Trees – 2012 Masters: For about three and a half hours, Oosthuizen’s double-eagle was the runaway favorite for shot of the tournament.

Sure, some of these schools would last longer on the golf course than they will in the NCAA Tournament, but that doesn’t mean they’re not worth looking at.South RegionFlorida (1) – While there are a few top players who hail from the University of Florida, perhaps its greatest alum to date is two-time U.S. Open champ Andy North. In college, North was a star, being selected three times as an All-American and all-SEC player. He finished his career with just three PGA Tour wins, but gets the edge in this contest over fellow Gators like Billy Horschel and Chris DiMarco because of his major triumphs.Kansas (2) – The best golfer to come from basketball powerhouse Kansas is Gary Woodland. He actually transferred to Kansas to play golf on scholarship after beginning his studies at Washburn University on scholarship for basketball.

Kuchar and English beat the duo of Retief Goosen and Freddie Jacobson at the Tiburon Golf Resort's Gold course. The winners shot 25 under in their last 28 holes. Playing Sunday under a scramble format, they shot a 14-under 58.
Goosen and Jacobson cut their deficit to three shots after three holes before Kuchar and English warmed up. They were 11-under 61 for the day and 27-under for the tournament.
Finishing third were Lee Westwood and Ian Poulter, who had a 13-under 59 and went 26 under overall. Chris DiMarco and Billy Horschel were in fourth at 24 under.

''It was a fun day for me,'' said Perry, the Champions Tour player of the year and Charles Schwab Cup points champion. ''When (O'Hair) poured it in from about 15 feet on the first hole I knew it was going to be a good day for us. We were never in any trouble.
''We had a great chance to really go low today and better than 8 under, but that's OK. I mean, alternate shot is a tough format. To me it's my favorite format.
